Photos with a twist — pat morss

Sometimes we see something unexpected.

This Cooper’s Hawk looks smaller than real life, alone in the mist. [Our ornithologist daughter just told me that it looks small because it’s a Merlin!]
Gray Catbird in a classic guidebook pose. But it can be more approachable.
Same bird pacing around the branch with wings clasped behind its back.
Finally establishing eye contact, with a quizzical look.
Mallards are back in force, bottom-feeding on a shallow Niles Pond.
DON’T FORGET – Fall is duck planting season.
These “piles” were a mystery, until there was new evidence.
An intact Eastern Black Walnut casing (R), not yet opened by a squirrel stealing another nut.
Anne-Lise’s rack of lamb, looking like an elephant with too many legs.
That’s better.
And a delicious dinner deserves a Cape Ann sunset.
